"Larcinese chats about his run to the Eternal MMA title and his win over Dana White's Contender Series veteran, Anthony Drilich. Plus, he chats about getting the call to fight on Road to UFC and shares his feelings about how much you can look at a bracket in a tournament. Plus, he digs into the origins of his fight name "Big Sexy" and breaks down his first round fight with Ryoga Arimoto."
"With Road to UFC and UFC Macau not until next week, we brought back the Combat Countdown for this week. In honor of Ronda Rousey coming out of retirement for her MVP MMA figth, we're taking a look at comebacks. We're counting down the top five comebacks that we wouldn't mind seeing in the next year. We not only talk about who we'd like to see comeback, but we play fantasy matchmaker for their pretend return."
"After a victorious debut in the UFC, Smotherman ran into a couple of tough fights back-to-back. While he learned a lot about himself in those fights, he learned even more from a year outside of the cage. He's taken some time away to heel, grow and add a few new wrinkles to his game. Now he looks to show the new version of "The Baby-Faced Killa" at UFC Macau when he takes on Kai Asakura."
